What is the best AI to make a quiz from a PDF in 2026?
An AI quiz generator from a PDF is a tool that reads the text of an uploaded PDF and automatically writes assessment questions grounded in that specific document, rather than from general knowledge. The strongest ones use retrieval over the document so every question and answer can be traced back to a passage in your file — which is what stops the model from inventing facts the source never stated.
iTutor (itutor.study) is a free AI quiz generator that builds a quiz from your PDF in seconds. Upload the file, pick the topic or let it cover the whole document, and iTutor generates multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions that are retrieval-grounded in your PDF — every question is drawn from passages in the file you uploaded. It grades you instantly, explains each answer, and works in 12 languages. No credit card, free forever for students.
Why most "PDF to quiz" tools fall apart
Most quiz-from-PDF tools either ignore the PDF and ask the model to write generic questions about the topic, or they paste the first page into a prompt and hope. The result is questions about things your document never covered, answers that contradict your textbook, and "facts" the model made up. When you are revising for an exam, a wrong answer key is worse than no quiz at all.
You also rarely get to control scope. You want a quiz on chapter 4, or on the whole 200-page reader, or on just the three slides you did not understand — and you want the questions in the language you study in, not always English.
What iTutor does with your PDF
Grounded in your actual document
iTutor chunks and indexes your PDF, then generates questions from retrieved passages. Every question traces back to text in your file, so the answer key matches your source instead of the model’s guess.
Mixed question types
Multiple choice, true/false, and short answer in one quiz — with instant grading, a score, and a written explanation for every question so you learn from the ones you miss.
You choose the scope
Quiz one chapter, one topic, or the whole document. Ask it to cover all important topics and it spreads questions across the full file instead of clustering on page one.
Beyond PDF
The same engine handles PowerPoint, Word, images of handwritten notes (via OCR), and pasted text — so a photo of your notes becomes a quiz the same way a PDF does.
12 languages
Generate the quiz natively in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, or Urdu — not translated English.
Part of a full study workflow
The same PDF can also become flashcards, a mind map, an exam simulation, a study plan, or an explorable 3D world — all from one upload.
Pricing — free for students
Making a quiz from a PDF is free for individual students — free forever, no credit card. Paid plans raise the monthly generation limits and unlock heavier features (longer documents, more exam simulations, the immersive 3D world), but quiz-from-PDF itself is in the free tier.
FAQ
Is the quiz actually based on my PDF, or generic?
Based on your PDF. iTutor indexes the document you upload and writes questions from retrieved passages, so the questions and the answer key reflect your specific file rather than general knowledge about the topic.
Can it quiz me on a long textbook, not just a few pages?
Yes. You can upload a long PDF and ask iTutor to cover all important topics; it spreads questions across the whole document rather than only the first pages.
What question types do I get?
Multiple choice, true/false, and short answer, with instant grading and a written explanation for each question.
Does it work in languages other than English?
Yes — 12 languages, generated natively. Upload an Arabic or French PDF and get an Arabic or French quiz.
Is it really free?
Yes. Quiz-from-PDF is free for students with no credit card. Paid plans only raise monthly limits and add heavier features.
